Lunar orbit position on 29 July 2065 Wednesday 12:00 UTC

True anomaly ∠235.9°

This lunation true anomaly is ∠235.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠270.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
